In India, many people often say that water is sacred. Water is life. While this remains true in small corners, the Ganges River is one of the most contaminated rivers in the world, risking the health and life of some 500 million people that rely on this watery lifeline.

Water is a fundamental human need, yet 663 million people around the world today live without access to safe water.
